About Us

Aidan Potts

Aidan previously worked as a self-employed joiner and did everything from building work to plumbing.

Aidan and the previous owner of TruGreen Northumberland and Carlisle have been good friends for many years, and when the opportunity arose for Aidan to take over, he jumped at the chance.

TruGreen was breath of fresh air for Aidan after working in the same industry for over 30 years and he decided it was a new challenge he was looking forward to!

In his spare time, Aidan enjoys playing Golf and spending time with his wife Nicola and son, Rory. He also enjoys walking his two dogs, Lunar and Starr through the countryside. Both will no doubt be seen in the TruGreen van from time to time!

A question I’m often asked is ‘When is the right time to start our lawn care programme?’ and the answer is simply ‘anytime’, because, whatever the time of year, there is always something that can be done to a lawn. As my visits are bi-monthly over the year, I can spot problems such as Red Thread disease and insect infestations before they become major issues.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here at TruGreen Northumberland and Carlisle we aim to answer as many of your questions from the condition of your lawn, to simple advice regarding caring for your lawn. We feel that it is important that we share with our clients the frequently asked questions that we handle on a regular basis.

Are your lawn care treatments harmful to children and pets?
A. Our lawn care treatments are not harmful and perfectly safe for children and pets. However, we do recommend for both children and pets to stay off the lawn for a couple of hours after the treatment has been applied to allow it to dry.

I don’t have moss in my lawn, do I need to scarify it?
A. Quite possibly yes. Scarification isn’t only for removing moss. Like any other plants, the older they get the more stems they get. As the grass plant gets older these stems begin to form a thick thatch on the surface of the soil. This prevents moisture and nutrients getting through to the grass roots. This is where scarification is of benefit, clearing out the thatch and opening up the channels again.

Do I need to water my lawn?
A. Yes, you will need to water your lawn as your lawn is a plant, and requires feeding. You should give your lawn around 3-4 cm of water per week.

Can I walk on my lawn after it has been treated?
A. Yes, unless it has had a specialist treatment. I will be sure to let you know if this is the case and how long you should stay off the lawn for.

Do I need to be in when you come?
A. No, I will always give you prior notice of when I shall be coming to treat your lawn so you are aware of when I will be visiting. If you want to be in when I attend and the proposed date is not convenient I will happily change the appointment to a more suitable date.

Do I need to sign up to an annual treatment plan?
A. No, I am happy to complete a one of treatment where required however I do recommend putting a treatment plan in place to ensure your lawn is kept in the best possible condition and health.
